Challenge Day 11



This picture is bittersweet for me. While I couldn't be a prouder mom, I wonder where in the heck the time has gone. You see, my sweet boy turns ten this week. How is that happening??? It seems like just yesterday that I was walking the mall, eating Mexican food, and other things trying to coax him out of my body. Just like he does today, he came in his own time--thirteen days late! He ate ALL THE TIME and never really liked sleeping, but he and I made quite a pair in those days. He opened my heart to a kind of love I never knew was possible. He has grown into a sweet, kind, and loving young man. He truly enjoys spending time with his little sister and his sometimes uncool parents. And he is so funny and talented. The boy can draw anything! I'm having a hard time getting used to the fact that he's hitting the double digits and doesn't want toys for his birthday anymore. So while I did break down and buy the music CD and video game he wanted, I did so with a heavy heart. My little baby boy is all grown up and I'm not sure I'm ready for that! ;) Happy birthday, RP! I love you more than you will ever know!
